Quite some years ago there was a song by Lorraine Chase called 'Luton Airport' and having just checked the lyrics, I'm surprised it got as high as 22 in the charts ... bet you can't stop yourselfもっと詳しく

It's an early start to catch my flight to Keflavik in Iceland - so excited this morning.
It was a ten minute walk to the terminal where I arrived at 4am then at 4.30 I was sitting with a coffee and aもっと詳しく
旅行者 "Super" you really know how to entice an audience. Just to let you know, on one of our adventures to the States we went via Iceland. Half way across to the USA the pilot informed us that he was going back to Iceland as the plane had developed engine trouble! So, it is good to see a working engine again!

One of the options I had considered for today was to hire a car and go exploring but it seemed an awfully expensive option. However, I couldn't get into my accommodation until this afternoon and itもっと詳しく

As I drove away from the old lighthouse I didn't really have too much idea about what to expect. I'd never explored this peninsula before and assumed it would be just a pleasant drive until Iもっと詳しく
旅行者 I agree it does, but it's actually not far from a car park and the road. Even so, the whole area feels that way and is very rugged.
旅行者 Glad for the message “normal service will be resumed as soon as possible”. I was wondering is you were in a gigantic no wifi spot in Greenland.
旅行者 I'm back in Iceland now and after I've slept I think I should be able to catch up. It'll take a while though - so much has happened.

Here are views from one of the parking areas I stopped at, where I walked up to the top of a volcanic cone. It wasn't all that huge but I got a great view from the top as shown in the main photo. Asもっと詳しく
旅行者 What a marvellous landscape to behold! Excellent and interesting images. I might be what I would think the moon or Mars landscape would look like! Isn't volcanic rock like that called tufa (or something similar) and doesn't it float on water? What an amazing day of wonderful and very different experiences!

Apart from the wind, the weather was lovely and this location was sheltered so it was just so beautiful here. With the sunshine, warmth, such green grass and those lupins, I spent a while just sittingもっと詳しく
旅行者 Wonderful images...they reminded me of some of your Scottish ones from last year. I don't remember the "song for Europe" sequence at all but interesting to see that it has become part of Nordic mythology. You do know that you won't be able to submit your photo of an Auk into your camera club competitions under the title of "wildlife" even to spite any other bird photographers!

Just a short three minute drive away things are very different. Here the air is filled with the smell of sulphur and as you move along the boardwalks the smell gets much stronger. You know the one ...もっと詳しく
旅行者 A mixture of the two I think. There was boiling water in there which was actually quite violent, bubbling up at least 3m or more. The walkway was far enough away to be safe, though if you stood at the end too long you'd get wet from the steam. Those two guys looked quite damp.

Keflavik probably gets passed by because everyone who arrives at the airport is heading for somewhere else. Most people perhaps never even visit or know what it's like, but the town is only minutesもっと詳しく
旅行者 A bit late for all those questions and, anyway, since when have you ever doubted that you have all the correct equipment/clothes with you?

旅行者 Have a good trip Rob. Looking forward to hearing what you get up to
旅行者 Thanks Victoria. I can't believe the trip has arrived and in a few hours I'll be on my way. 🤗🥳
旅行者 Well Rob, you inspired me to look up the song, I even listened to it. Filled with emotion I had my friend knock up a new version of Luton Airport, with you in the starring role! I was amazed! Unfortunately the formatting doesn’t carry across into these replies!
